Leinster Division 2b Podcast

August 28th, 2012 Rob

Rob Murphy is joined by Niall Moran to discuss the season ahead in Leinster’s Division 2b.

We’ve had plenty of discussion on the site around this Division, many people’s favourites appear to be Railway Union but Edenderry, Guinness, North Kildare, Athy, Arklow, Balbriggan and Swords will all have their say.

As a Wicklow RFC member I was very impressed with Arklow at the weekend. The new coach seems to have worked very well with them. Although its early days their defense was tough and we srtuggled at times to contain them in attack.

they have recruited well in the last two years-
Stephen Snell- Clontarf, Greystones and Irish colleges
Richard Murphy- Old Wesley last year
Mick Kavanagh- Former Trinity Fullback/wing
Joni Butterworth- Leinster Juniors and Greystones

Among others, but I think they will be hard to beat for most teams, especially at home. somewhat of a revival it seems..

big ben has obv been helping himself to the missus brandy bottle if he thinks derry will manouvere their way around that league. itll be pain the whole way through. milnes idea of a rugby match is 16 big men pummelling into one another until someone breaks

to be fair milne is doing his best tho they could indeed try spread the ball a bit wider, by all accounts there were serious fitness issues with certain players and very poor training attendances at times. this year so far ive heard he has used the stick rather than the carrot so hopefully that should pay dividends

I was at the Arklow V Wicklow match. Arklow looked pretty decent but are very dependant on 3 or 4 players. Wicklow played great rugby for the first ten minutes and the last ten minutes, in between they where pretty poor.
They blew at least 4 easy try scoring chances and missed 4 kicks in front of the posts.
If Wicklow showed up they could of put 40 points on Arklow.
But Arklow were definitely the hungrier team, and i think they will have a pretty good year.
